Owner TLS Learning

Learning practitioners strive to understand the real-life
environment of experts as much as possible. But getting access to really see
how people do their jobs when they are in a more technical or hands-on role (e.g.,
construction, refinery, or factory work) is difficult. Often, learning
practitioners can’t use video or real-life images because of safety or
clearance constraints. This poses a challenge as they try to create impactful
learning materials.

In this session, you will see how you can equip subject matter
experts with a GoPro or 360 camera that they can wear on their chests or hard
hats and control from phones or tablets. You will see what it looks like within
their environment, and you’ll capture it in the form of a video to put into a
course, or an easy-to-access performance support video. This session will show
you how to quickly set up and use the devices. You will also learn how to help
your leadership understand the viability of this technology as a training tool.

In this session,
you will learn:

How a GoPro and early VR tools can be
useful additions to your design and development toolkit

How to discuss this as a viable option
with a client (or a manager) and set a strategy for success
